Paintings of Persians & Scythians from the Tatarli Tumulus

[Druzhina]

A few years ago I collected some images of Paintings of Persians & Scythians from the Tatarli Tumulus, a Lydian tomb chamber built around 470 B.C. in southern Phrygia, but there were not many images of the Scythians.


Does anyone have more images of the original wooden beams or reproductions?

One small correction by the way. The name of this tumulus is Tatarlı, not Tartari.

Interesting, I always thought it wasn't anything serious or possibly fake. Is that the reconstruction picture of the tomb?

[H. İhsan Erkoç]

Indeed it is.

Also, the tomb and its structure seem very intriguing, I remember I read a long time ago in Roman Ghirshman's book somewhere that he compared the simple architecture of Cyrus's tomb gable to the buildings typical of northern areas of higher precipitation usually depicted in texts such as Avesta.

Here we can also see how the Achaemenid elite dressed in Elamite manner while normal soldiers outfits are very similar looking to that of Scythians.

That is true.
